beyond; see Walde, Lat. Wtb. under per & also pari, pubba, pura, pur!*a] 1. (adv. & prep.) beyond, on the
further side of (with abl. or loc.), over PvA 168 (para Gang!ya, v. l. ˚!ya'). See in same meaning &
application para', paro and par! & cp. cpds. like paraloka. -- 2. (adj.) para follows the pron. declension;
cases: sg. nom. paro Sn 879, acc. para' Sn 132, 185, gen. dat. parassa Sn 634; Pv ii.919, instr. parena PvA
116, loc. paramhi Sn 634, and pare Pv ii.943; pl. nom. pare Dh 6, acc. pare Dh 257; PvA 15, gen. dat.
paresa' D i.3; Th 1, 743; J i.256; Sn 818, instr. parehi Sn 240, 255; PvA 17. -- Meanings: (a) beyond, i. e.
"higher" in space (like Ved. para as opp. to avara lower), as well as "further" in time (i. e. future, to come,
or also remote, past: see loc. pare under c.), freq. in phrase paro loko the world beyond, the world (i. e. life)
to come, the beyond or future life (opp. aya' loko) Sn 185 (asm! lok! para' loka' na socati), 634 (asmi'
loke paramhi ca); Dh 168 (paramhi loke); Pv ii.83 (id.=paraloke PvA 107); but also in other combn, like
santi -- para (adj.) higher than calm Dh 202. Cp. paraloka, para' and paro. -- (b) another, other, adj. as well

else), 257 (pare others); Pv ii.919 (parassa d!na'); ii.943 (pare, loc.= paramhi parassa PvA 130); DhA
iv.182 (gen. pl.); PvA 15, 60 (paresa' dat.), 103, 116, 253 (parassa purisassa & para' purisa'). Often
contrasted with and opposed to attano (one's own, oneself), e. g. at M i.200 (para' vambheti att!na'
ukka'seti); Sn 132 (att!na' samukka'se para' avaj!n!ti); J i.256 (paresa', opp. attan!); Nd2 26 (att -- attha
opp. par -- attha, see cpds. ˚ajjh!saya & ˚attha). -- paro . . . paro "the one . . . the other" D i.224 (ki' hi paro
parassa karissati); paro para' one another Sn 148 (paro para' nikubbetha). In a special sense we find
pare pl. in the meaning of "the others," i. e. outsiders, aliens (to the religion of the Buddha), enemies,
opponents (like Vedic pare) D i.2 (=pa&iviruddh! satt! DA i.51); Vin i.349; Dh 6. -- (c) some oblique cases
in special meaning and used as adv.: para' acc. sg. m. see under cpds., like parantapa; as nt. adv. see sep. In
phrase puna ca para' would be better read puna c' apara' (see apara). -- parena (instr.) later on, afterwards J
iii.395 (=aparena
-- 419 --
samayena C.). -- pare (loc.); cp. Gr. parai/ at; Lat. prae before; Goth. faúra= E, for, old dat. of *per) in the
past, before, yet earlier J ii.279 (where it continues ajja and hiyyo, i. e. to -- day and yesterday, and refers to
the day before yesterday. Similarly at Vin iv.63 pare is contrasted with ajja & hiyyo and may mean "in
future," or "the day before yesterday." It is of interest to notice the Ved. use of pare as "in the future" opp.
to adya & $vas); J iii.423 (the day before yesterday). At DhA i.253 (sve v! pare v!) and iv.170 in the sense
